Abstract :
We have studied the influence of environmental parameters and of antenna array height and inter-element spacing on MIMO channel capacity. Vertical polarization (VP) and horizontal polarization (HP) have been considered. In general, VP results in more MIMO channel capacity. The results could be useful in designing systems to provide high data. rate services.
